DELIVERY INFORMATION

Each business depends on fabric and supply deliveries to keep their business running smoothly. Each of the major delivery carriers has a page addressing their response to COVID-19. Click the image to link to their COVID-19 page.

Many sewing professionals and DIY-ers are getting involved with sewing face masks. Please check with your local healthcare professionals to see what they might need, if you would like to be involved. Be sure to follow their recommendations.
